A YUGE cow
EDIT, 27/11/2019:
The book announced below has since been unpublished, so it is no longer available at Amazon. I have decided to make it available for free at a rather nice little website I just discovered, called Storyweaver.
My latest children's book, Itumeleng and the Moo-normous Cow, is finally available!
